"writeup": "Chicago eased Loveland in as a rookie, a 64.5 percent snap share, and still got 82 targets, 713 yards, and 12.3 yards a catch (88th percentile) out of him. The charting backs up the box score: an 8.93 aDOT in the 94th percentile at tight end, 77th-percentile separation, and an 83rd-percentile air-yards share. He was deployed like a downfield receiver and got open like one, and the 70.7 percent catch rate (34th percentile) reads as the cost of that target depth rather than a hands problem, especially next to his beating expected points by 18. The 2026 projection asks for 77 catches and 907 yards, a real jump from 58 and 713, and the fourth-round price, 42 overall as the TE3, asks you to fund that jump now. Two things help the case: Vegas has the Bears eighth by implied team total at 25 points a game, and a snap share in the mid-60s leaves obvious room for a second-year role to grow into the projection.",
